Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

No Cinderella Story For VCU

The story of Virginia Commonwealth University’s basketball team, which some had compared to George Mason’s trip to the Final Four last year, has come to an end:

BUFFALO, March 17 — Trailing by 19 points with 12 minutes remaining, Virginia Commonwealth Coach Anthony Grant told his players that the only way they would stop playing is if time ran out. His players listened, unleashing a frenzied late run that kept the Rams’ stellar season alive as long as they could.

In the end, Pittsburgh held off VCU to earn an 84-79 overtime victory in the second round of the NCAA tournament at HSBC Arena. The third-seeded Panthers advanced to the West Region semifinals in San Jose, which represents Pittsburgh’s fourth trip to the round of 16 in six years.

Too bad.
